How to Plant B-Dahl Grass
- 1). Pull any weeds from the area prior to planting. Apply a weed-killer for large patches of weeds if desired, but read the product labeling to determine the length of time you should wait to begin seeding after application.
- 2). Layer any necessary amendments over the top of the soil. Till the area until the soil is a granular consistency.
- 3). Rake the soil to even it out.
- 4). Add the B. Dahl seed to a broadcast spreader. Apply 2 pounds of pure live B. Dahl seed for every acre of land being planted.
- 5). Start spreading the seed over the soil. Walk at a consistent pace in straight, even lines to spread the seed evenly over the entire area.
- 6). Rake the area again to cover the seeds in 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch of soil. Wheel a lawn roller over the area to firm the seedbed, which is essential for B. Dahl growth. Drive a car over the soil if possible -- if the tire tracks are visible, continue packing the soil until it is more firm.
- 7). Keep the soil moistened until the grass is firmly established, which may take several months. Remove any weeds that appear in the soil.
